The present invention relates to a dry shelter (10) for increasing the operational capability of a submarine. The dry shelter is mounted on its upper surface and comprises: a) a watertight compartment (11); b) an operational chamber (13) arranged inside the watertight compartment (11) to deploy/recover from the outside, through a first access path to/from the outside (21), an operational means capable of performing operational missions; c) a compensation tank (15) for storing water having a volume slightly larger than the volume of said operation chamber (13) fixed inside said watertight compartment (11); and d) means for flooding the operational chamber (13) with water stored in the compensation tank (15) to allow deploying/recovering said operational means and for draining water from said operational chamber (13) to said compensation tank (15) to allow accommodating said operational means in a dry space. The shelter can have a supportive attachment structure (19) on its outside for attachment therein with the submarine.
